Dispersing the Fog -Ep 32 - New Evidence in Sullivan Children Case, Bail Reform Politics, Death of Robert Dziekanski with Guest Former CBC Journalist Curt Petrovich
Description
This week we are very pleased to welcome former longtime CBC journalist, author Curt Petrovich, to the podcast. Curt has written 'Blamed and Broken, the Mounties and the Death of Robert Dziekanski', an account of the many unusual twists in the story of a Polish immigrant who died after being tased at the Vancouver Airport on October 14, 2007. Two of the four officers involved were convicted of perjury in the case, but those officers have since sued the RCMP for defamation, and one has reached a settlement. Curt discusses the viral video of the incident, the unusual decision to have four separate trials for the four officers, and an upcoming OPP report on the way the four officers were treated by the RCMP.Before welcoming Curt to the show, Paul and Adam discuss the new evidence in the Jack and Lily Sullivan disappearance, and what that might mean in terms of a suspect. It is also a critique of the police for not issuing an Amber Alert. The federal government is introducing bail reform legislation this week, as part of a justice reform package that also includes $1.8 billion for federal policing. The guys discuss that, along with the comments from Pierre Poilievre about the RCMP allowing politics to interfere with their decision making when it came to the potential prosecutions of the Trudeau government.
